Blanket Bay - LUXURY HOTEL IN QUEENSTOWN

Country House Hotel of the Year - SLH Awards 2018

Overlooking Lake Wakatipu on New Zealand’s South Island

With the Humboldt Mountains behind, their snow-dusted peaks reflected in Lake Wakatipu in front, Blanket Bay boutique hotel is wrapped up in superb isolation. Yet this captivating hideaway is a short drive from the adrenalin hub of Queenstown – and well placed for exploring the Southern Lakes and Fjordland.

Blanket Bay’s majestic Alpine setting and rustic lodge styling has all the ingredients of a romantic retreat. Take your pick from naturally inspired rooms and suites or the exclusive owner’s house. Warm colours and chic but homey furnishings create a snug contrast to the wild surroundings. Seek out cosy corners or a seat by a stone fireplace, or absorb the views from the panoramic deck. With a heated outdoor lap pool and luxury spa with lake-view hot tubs, take your time to find your favourite lookout point.

When you’re ready to explore, you’ll find that Blanket Bay Hotel also has a wild side. Plan a private heli-picnic to a remote fjord or mountaintop. Touch the icy walls of ancient glaciers or leave footsteps on a deserted beach. Then welcome nightfall back at your luxury getaway, with dinner beside a vast outdoor fireplace and under a sky full of stars.

Beautiful Property in superb location

By Jonathon from Stones Corner, Australia

Stay date: April 2016

My Trip Type: Couple

An easy drive from Queenstown yet feels like miles away with still beautiful spectacular mountain views. The property is much bigger than it appears in terms of its size - yet still intimate with an small number of rooms and excellent personalised service. The suites are really big - super comfy and cozy. Food is delicious. Staff lovely. would be nice to have all reasonable beverages included as well but not too much of an extra expense if you choose wisely

Top tip for other guests:

if its a good day - take a tour to milford sound - you want regret it.

Perfect Location

By Gregory from Epping, Australia

Stay date: November 2015

My Trip Type: Couple

Staff went out of their way to cater for our special requirements. The staff were friendly and the facilities were perfect for a short getaway. The location is superb, just far enough out of the way to get that escape we were after.

Top tip for other guests:

Book a Chalet, perfect

What I liked most

Perfection if you can afford it.

By Molly from Studio City, USA

Stay date: December 2014

My Trip Type: Couple

I really have no complaints about this hotel -- it's exquisite in every way -- except for the price. Considering it's a lodge tucked into an out-of-the-way (although lovely) location, the tab was awfully steep.

Top tip for other guests:

Take the helicopter ride to Milford Sound.

Most spectacular setting in NZ

By Beverly from Reno, USA

Stay date: March 2013

My Trip Type: Couple

This was the most dramatic location of any place we stayed during our 4 + weeks in NZ. Our room looked out on the sweeping lawn/fountain area and lake which was circled with spectacular mountains. It just doesn't get any better. We determined Blanket Bay was so perfect that we opted to scrub our adventure plans and take a vacation from our vacation and just relax and enjoy the views. We were told there were walking "trails" going in either direction along the lake shore but found them to be unpleasant - either sand or rocks. If you want to hike, I am sure there are better places to hike than right around the lake shore. We enjoyed the happy hour which included interesting appetizers as well. Dinners were always excellent and particularly well presented. One night we ate outside with the fireplace behind our backs. While it was not needed, there were blankets and outdoor heaters should it get too cool. The highlight of our stay was having a private dinner in the Wine Cave which was lit with a multitude of candles. Very romantic and special.

Top tip for other guests:

Be sure and book ahead for dinner outside (weather permitting) and/or in the Wine Cave. If you eat outside, be sure and put repellant on (including your ankles) to keep those sand flies at bay.
